"Hn" Sasuke replied dryly.

Anko looked up at him. His response was exactly what she expected. He must think that he would be weak to admit that he has nightmares. "I know you have them too, Sasuke."

"Oh? And how would you know that?"

She brushed away her tears. "We hold the same pain…the same bitterness. We both lost our families and have left the Leaf Village. We both desire to belong, to grow stronger. I bet you wake up in a cold sweat, fighting demons like I do almost every night. I can tell from the look in your eyes Uchiha Sasuke, I can tell. You try to act like you're all tough and business-like. But inside you're just like me" she whispered as gently as possible.

Sasuke's fists tightened and his eyes narrowed. "We do NOT share the same pain and bitterness! I did not just simply lose my family! Uchiha Itachi took my family from me! He killed them and then made me watch! Watch as he destroyed my clan! You do not know pain" he snarled, standing up. "But I intend to show you."

He grabbed her by the collar of her shirt and yanked her up. Anko did little to escape his grasp because she had very little reason to fight. Sasuke slammed her into the hot, damp wall of the shower.

"I'll show you pain—!"

Anko reached out and brushed a strand of Sasuke's hair from his eyes. She looked up at him, her dull eyes held the emptiness that his eyes usually held. He could tell that she would not fight him and that she was expecting a beating. Her eyes were so dead, it made him nauseous.

Sasuke lowered his fist and set her down. She slid to the floor, not bothering to remain standing.

He frowned and looked away. "Every night."

She glanced up. "Are they bad?"

He nodded but replied, "I can handle them."

"Maybe you need help." She teased gently.

"Maybe you do too." He smirked.

She got up and stood by his side, looking into the mirror. "Orochimaru-sama wants you, remember?"

"Hn." He dressed quickly but stopped to look her way. "I will return soon", and with that he was gone.

Anko sighed. She was alone again. She wrapped in a clean, fuzzy towel and walked back down the maze of hallways. Her mind wandered freely until a hand covered her mouth. She tried to free herself but a strong arm wrapped around her torso and dragged her into a dark room. Kabuto's room.

"Hello there Anko" Kabuto smirked, "I have not seen you in a while. It is pretty quiet here without you. Orochimaru has not seemed to notice though, how odd." His smirk widened. "I think he has forgotten you, little Anko. He has a new toy now." His arm tightened and her body was forced against his chest. He breathed hotly beside her neck. Slowly, he removed his hand from her mouth.

Anko glared into the darkness of his room. She hated him for doing this to her. "Let go" she growled. "You are just as unimportant."

He chuckled and ran his fingers along her spine. She pulled free from his grasp and smacked him. He grabbed her wrist and shoved her into the wall.

"Do you really want to have this fight Anko dear? I can easily drain all of your chakra right now. I can kill you, Anko, and Orochimaru would not care."

She flinched and hung her head. "I am not weak" she hissed in a soft whisper.

"Hai" he nodded "but you act irrationally, it is your weakness."

"What do you know Kabuto? You're just a medic" she spat.

"Just a medic?" he smirked. His fingers glowed as he pressed them against her throat. Slowly, he drained a little of her chakra. She slumped forward into the wall.

"You proved your point" she flushed. "Give it back."

He chuckled. "No, I do not think I will. I kind of like you like this."

She growled again and he sighed. "Okay, fine." He sent chakra back into her and smiled at her dryly. "There you go."

She straightened and moved away from him. "You're wrong Kabuto…he still wants me" she whispered and ran from his room.

Sasuke walked slowly toward Orochimaru's room. He didn't really want to talk with the crazy snake. He allowed his mind to reflect on the events with Anko. She was almost as crazy as Orochimaru. But she was a lot like him as well. She seemed to understand his pain and he understood hers. He frowned. He didn't have time for her. He couldn't have time for her. Women were nothing but a distraction and that is why he never got involved with girls before. He assumed that some people probably thought he was gay but he was very straight.

Sasuke smirked. Maybe he could get a little distracted later tonight. He entered Orochimaru's chambers.

"Why hello Sasuke, I am glad you made it here safely. It would be such a waste if you would have refused to come peacefully" Orochimaru chuckled.

Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "What do you want, snake?"

Orochimaru frowned. "Now, now Sasuke what is your hurry? Anko is not going anywhere." He smirked knowingly.

"Hn."

"I want your body, Sasuke, and in return I will give you power like you have never experienced before."

"My body?"

"Yes, a new vessel for myself when I need a new body. Will you agree to this?"

"…yes" Sasuke nodded.

"Very well then" Orochimaru replied as he rose from his chair. "There is a box on my desk, it now belongs to you. Take it and go" he grinned evilly.

Sasuke walked to his desk and took the box, then quickly exited. He could not help but to think how strange Orochimaru was. He drew from the box a long sword and smirked to himself. He walked through the long halls and then back into his room. Maybe being here would not be so bad as long as he pretended to listen to Orochimaru. Of course he would not let the snake have his body. But receiving power did not seem so bad. With Orochimaru's help he could finally kill his brother.

Anko knocked cautiously on Sasuke's door. She did not want to bother him.

Sasuke opened it and smirked at her.

"Come in, Anko" it was not an offer, it was a demand.
